The Delta Quadrant sure is a small place

just think how bored you would've been had chakotay been the primary focus of the episode and not seven. this was originally written for him to be over on the ares IV craft.

I heard it was originally going to be a Tuvok episode. Those rumor mills can't seem to get their stories straight. ;)

i only know that it was supposed to be a chakotay-centric episode b/c he had posted blurb about it on his website about how excited he was. then, when the writers changed it to a seven-centric episode he posted another blurb and said how frustrated he was.

I have read somethng like that as well.
 
Yes I know all these things had used alien juice to travel huge distances, or traveled outside normal space or have taken decades. My point isn't that they made it across the galaxy, it's that in such a massive area of space it was a huge coincidence for Voyager to bump into them, to be in the same place at the same time.

True for the Talaxian compound. I'm not sure about the Think Tank, but for the Equinox, they were trying to get home as well. It makes sense that Voyager would evenutally bump into them since they were both on a course to the Alpha Quadrant.
 
^ To be fair since they should have actually been in the BQ by then, running into Klingons wasn't that great a leap of logic...
 
Yup. Plus the Think tank they met halfway home had just cured the Vidiian Phage.
Think tank travels out side of normal space.

Neelix met those Talaxians right at the end.
they never did say how long it took the talaxians to get to that rock in space.
The Think Tank were con-artists, they didn't cure anything. Everything they told Janeway was a lie.


In "Homestead" Dexa said they left Talax when she was a little girl. I'd assume she's about mid-30's now.
 
I find this just as realistic as say Worf and Martok being able to make it to Qo'noS, speak with Gowron, convince him that it was a good idea to send a relativly large fleet of the Klingon Defence Force to help the Federation re-take DS9 and then get all the fleet together, set off and then turn up just in time....

In other words it's a TV show and you think faaaaaaaar to much about it!
 
I got yelled at for asking how much time/productivity is lost at work with Trekkies looking up all things Trek related and the BBS. shooting the phaser off a little too close to home!
 
"Tsunkatse" was the one that was going to be about Tuvok and was changed to Seven...


That could have been most interesting Tuvok episode.

Damn they really did throw Seven too much on our faces. One Small Step was first a Chakotay-centric episode, until turned into Seven of Nine -episode (once again).

I am very close now to jump on the "missing opportunities" bandwagon, which I usually try to avoid. I resent the "missing opportunities" remarks made, since everyone seems to use that phrase whenever an episode didn't go the way they would have personally preferred (but I guess that is the one purpose of the boards like this).
 
also they encounter the Malon in 'Night', jump several lightyears using the transwarp conduit in 'Dark Frontier' and later encounter more Malon in 'Juggernaut'.
 
That's likely for economic reasons: The Malon makeup and outfits look more expensive and more well-done than the usual Forehead of the week alien and the VOY team would've wanted to use them more instead of discarding them since it would be a waste of money to do so.

Well, the Malon in Night had found the vortex to jump in the dark void area, so one could assume that other Malon, during their quest to find suitable waste dumping areas, have found similar vortex to dump their waste. You never know. :p
